Situated in a 1911 Craftsman bungalow, the Little Beast is a neighborhood restaurant located in the heart of Eagle Rock. Offering both indoor and outdoor seating, the Little Beast serves modern American fare. Intended for sharing, the menu is comprised of small plates and large mains with several unique daily specials.

As always, excellent meal. As a vegetarian and my husband a carnivore, always plenary for both of us to choose from and be very happy with our meals! Love this place. One of our favorite in the eagle rock/highland park area!

Little Beast never disappoints! The quality of the food, the level of service and the ambience make Little Beast a great place to dine. We love it, have brought our friends and made recommendation to others. Great job Little Beast!

Memories of quietly AMAZING food bring us back here, yet with each return we are once again astounded to be reminded of how PERFECT the food is. DELICIOUS food prepared with casual elegance - the vitality and deep, rich flavor of organic, local ingredients shines through sophisticated contemporary creations and home style faves (satisfying burger & fries sans gut bomb effect). LOVE THIS PLACE. Great HH too!

Friends and I are always happy dining at Little Beast. It was a tad crowded this past Saturday night even with our res, but we were there at prime time, so understandable. The staff was accommodating and thoughtful, and we enjoyed ourselves after a long week.

Went to Little Beast to celebrate a friend's birthday. We all loved the atmosphere - the restaurant was charming, located in a small house and was actually much larger than it appeared. We ended up sitting outside on the side patio and it was delightful. Even though it was a chilly evening (for Southern California!), we were all perfectly comfortable. Our waitress was very nice and attentive. We all loved the hummus and pita crisps (how do they make those pita crisps so tasty and addictive?) to start. Our main courses were enjoyed by all of us - the chicken was so moist and flavorful and those of us who got the flat iron steak and steelhead were very pleased. We shared the matcha brioche bread pudding and it made a delightful ending to a very nice dinner. We will be back!

Same review I posted on Yelp: We arrived on time for our 8 pm dinner reservation to see about 20 people standing in the parking lot. That's not a good sign. Yes, they were running a little late, we were told, and it would be about 20 minutes before we could be seated. Actually, we stood in the parking lot in the noisy din of Colorado Blvd. traffic for 45 minutes.

Restaurants have bad nights. Things go wrong. But good restaurants find ways to make it right. On this, Little Beast failed rather spectacularly. With the exception of the hostess who had to face the throngs of people waiting for tables they had reserved, no one inside the restaurant even acknowledged what a disaster the restaurant had created in the parking lot. Our server came to the table as if nothing were amiss with a cheery, "How are you doing?" No apologies. Nothing. A good restaurant would have done something nice, a complimentary appetizer, a little something to say "sorry" and "thank you".

Nothing.

At the end of the evening, I did something I've never done before. I asked to see the manager. I complained about the long wait, which is a management screw up. The server didn't screw up. The chef didn't screw up. The manager did nothing but make excuses. No apology.

I've been to Little Beast three or four times before, and thought it was good enough to come back. Never again. I don't recommend it. And if you make a reservation for a Saturday night, be prepared to stand in the parking lot for 45 minutes, and be prepared to have the management and wait staff act like they did nothing wrong.
